Unfortunately, in the Great State of Arkansas, down in the middle of the Bible Belt, we are still living in the old belief that all is peace and quiet. So our legistlative folks, with their heads buried solidly in the sand, decided we should not carry in church.

Yeah, so much for separation of church and state, eh...? :(

Don't know if you're aware, but there's been a bill introduced at least once to strike that from state law and put the onus on the individual church to post as a no carry. I've got a letter I'm working on to send to my State Rep and Senator to show my support of such a bill. If you're an Arkansas voter, I recommend you do something similar.

The same can be said for Florida, carry is forbidden in places of worship here as well.

show me where...

Although my knees don't let me do it anymore, I bet I was the only altar server at a traditional Latin Mass in my diocese who was packing heat. Probably would have taken me thirty seconds to get to it underneath the surplice and cassock.
